California Plaza

California Plaza, Los Angeles, California, USA
Designed 1980, with Kamnitzer & Cotton, Gruen Associates, and WZMH.
California Plaza was a winning entry in an international developer/architect competition for the redevelopment of 11
acres of land (four downtown city blocks) in the Bunker Hill Redevelopment area of Los Angeles. The proposal includes
over a million square feet of office space, 750 units of condominium housing, a 400-room luxury hotel, 82,000 square
feet of retail space; and a 33,000 square feet Museum of Contemporary Arts.
The project urban design concept is to integrate the project's diverse uses with the surrounding area and provide an active
link between the down-town office core andthe Music Centre, at opposite ends of the site. The solution incorporates
cultural, recreational and commercial activities,which combine to create a new public and commercial focus for the greater
Los Angeles region.
